Sad truth is:
If you're somebody that has the it factor it takes a very short time for that to catch fire
Basically everyone who meets you will see it. Think Tupac, DMX. Dudes like that.
There's celebs that are a little more plain, too.
But generally it sells itself. Its apparent.
If you try it 25 different ways over the course of several years and no version of your act finds an audience .. then that's just a clear indication that you DONT have "it".
Anyone can make a surprise hit at any moment, so by all means be creative. But the answer to your industry prayers comes fairly early into your "career". Most often the answer is "No"
Take it from me kids. I am a total failure commercially. Sometimes that makes you feel like a failure artistically
